Randwick Public School is a comprehensive public school located in Randwick, New South Wales, Australia operated by the New South Wales Department of Education and Training.

History

The school was originally established in 1883, one of 228 State Schools established as a consequence of the Public Instruction Act of 1880. The Act was to make education free, compulsory and secular.

The nucleus of the School grew from an established church school, St. Judes, Randwick, and the buildings were completed in 1887. In 1913, the School became a "Superior"' Public School, catering for older students, but returned to being a primary school in 1959.[1]
